A cycling group says some people will need more than buses as Auckland's rail network shuts down today

It will be closed completely until January 15, with buses being used as a replacement.

Bike Auckland says they aren't accessible for those in wheel chairs, people with push chairs or cyclists.

Chief Biking Officer Fiain d'leafy says there are easy ways to make them user friendly for more people.

D'leafy says they could create areas for them or a rack on the back for bikes like Christchurch and Wellington do.
